I looked this question up and found the underlined word is "declaration" and that it is supposed to be used as a verb in the new sentence.
Answer:
After reframing the sentence, we have:
The collector declared the local holiday.
Explanation:
The noun "declaration" is formed by adding the suffix -ation to the verb "declare". To use the verb in the sentence, we will need to make quite a few changes. The simplest way to do it is by using the active voice, which makes "collector" the new subject and demands the use of a verb to express the action of declaring. With that in mind, we can reframe the sentence in the following manner:
The collector declared the local holiday.
The verb "declared" is in the past form because the original sentence also used a past structure.
a cold dead lifeless stare or it could mean a cold heartless stare implying that she either does not have any care for what she is looking at as if she just doesnt feel emotion or that she is scolding someone with a stare but doing it in a way that just seems heartless.
